The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office is searching for suspects who held a Miranda couple at gunpoint on Tuesday while stealing marijuana, firearms and thousands of dollars in cash.

At about 8 p.m., sheriff's deputies were dispatched to the home on the 4500 block of Salmon Creek Road in Miranda, and met with the uninjured victims, a 62-year-old man and his 60-year-old wife, according to a sheriff's office press release. The victims told deputies they were at their home when the man answered the door, and was greeted by a Hispanic male who said he was lost.

The suspect then pointed a gun at the man, told him to call his wife, and directed both victims at gunpoint down on the floor, the release said. After blankets were thrown over their heads and their legs and feet were bound, an estimated additional four or five suspects wearing full-faced ski masks entered the house.

According to the victims, the suspects demanded to know where the marijuana and cash were kept. While stealing 7 pounds of processed marijuana, multiple firearms and several thousand dollars in cash, the suspects referred to themselves by numbers rather than names, the release said.

During the investigation, deputies found evidence at the scene consistent with the victims' account of what happened, the release said. The sheriff's office said no further suspect descriptions are available.

The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity to call the office at 445-7251 or its crime tip line at 268-2539.
